6'4" on my wide glide and I think it's a great fit! The rake helps. The forward controls are great because I can stretch my legs out and relax!

I am 6' and 250 pounds and felt the same way. I realized really quick that it was the bars that made me feel crunched in so to speak so I bought 14" bars and 2" risers for it. The bars are being installed now and I can't wait to see how it feels now

Shouldn't the title be "Does My WG Make My A$$ Look Too Big?"

Well, get rid of the stock bars, get some apes on it and it will feel bigger when your arms are up a bit, the stock bars are low and narrow.

I just did the 2" spacer on the bars on my fatbob and instantly didn't feel so big on it. I'm 6'6"/250 and I make everything look small, even a Honda XR650L, one of the tallest bikes I've ever seen.

I am 6'4" and 250 and love my street bob with forward controls...which is basically a less raked out wide glide...and I think it fits perfect

6'3" - 215
3" extended forwards, 16" apes, 3" tank lift that'll make ur bike look and feel a bit larger.

i had the same worries, but now I feel like me and the ole WG are a perfect match
